The IWF Medical Committee set its 3 years working plan including the elaboration of a Medical Manual. Event organizers guidelines will also include a comprehensive Anti-Doping section with well-defined requirements to be provided at IWF events.

The IWF Medical Kit to be used on major events such as World Championships was introduced in order to assure a proper and professional medical treatment for athletes on competition sites.

Sports specific characteristics were established to differentiate weightlifting from other sports from the medical and analytical point of view.

The meeting marked the first step of a tighter cooperation between the IOC Medical and Scientific Department, the IWF Medical Committee and the IWF Anti-Doping Commission in order to further harmonize the work in this field.
